Biondi Santi - Tenuta Greppo

Region: Tuscany

The story of Il Greppo dates back to 1800, when Clemente Santi and his grand-son Ferruccio Biondi Santi, began making wine using 100% Sangiovese in the cellar of Tenuta Il Greppo, belonging to their family. In 1888 Ferruccio produced the first bottle of Brunello. His son Tancredi, a wine maker with a remarkable reputation, set the guidelines for the regulation of Brunello production. Franco Biondi Santi, Tancredi’s son, still follows the same philosophy, without making changes, relying on the testimony and the extraordinary collection of Riserves, of which the 1888 is still the most historic one.
